Darren and his team were just brilliant. They made a very difficult time much easier to cope with. Their compassion, kindness and the gentle way they approached everything was perfect and their attention to detail was also very much appreciated. Would highly recommend them.

As an independent family business, Darren is very much at the helm, and was personally involved at every stage, though I have only good to say about everyone I encountered at the firm, namely Gosia, Chris and Graham. I suppose you would expect a funeral director to be quiet and dignified, but I felt that Darren went over and above, giving me as much time as I needed, answering my questions, and doing so much to help us have the funeral we wanted. Gosia did the flowers, and followed the brief perfectly; we were delighted with the floral tributes and displays. This being the first funeral I have had to deal with, I realised quickly that engaging a funeral director was unlike anything else - it isn't like ringing around making comparisons before buying a car or such like. You probably tend to go with the first one you call. We could not have been happier with the service we received from Darren MacDonald Funeral Directors, and can wholehearted recommend them.

We were so pleased to find this company to guide us through a very difficult time. Darren and his lovely wife were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The floral wreath that she made for us was amazing as we told her that my husband Simon loved wild flowers and she managed to recreate a wildflower meadow for him which was incredible and perfect. They really go out of their way to make the whole process as easy as possible for which we are eternally grateful. Thank you, dziekuje.
